The Google Workspace Events API is built on HTTP and JSON, so any standard HTTP client can send requests to it and parse the responses. However, the Google API client libraries provide better language integration, improved security, and support for making calls that require user authorization. The client libraries are available in a number of programming languages; by using them you can avoid the need to manually set up HTTP requests and parse the responses.

easy_install --upgrade google-api-python-client
Manual install
- Download the latest client library for Python.
- Unpack the code.
- Install:
python setup.py install
App Engine
Because the Python client libraries aren't installed in the App Engine Python runtime environment, you must copy them into your application just like third-party libraries.
Ruby
This page contains information about getting started with the Google Workspace Events API by using the Google API Client Library for Ruby. For more information, see the following documentation:
Install the google-api-client gem
Depending on your system, you might need to prepend these commands with sudo.
If you haven't installed the Google API Client Library for Ruby before, install by using RubyGems:
